We were chatting.

PREVIOUSLY

I don't know what came over her, but… she kissed me.

[Trini] Since you got here, you haven't stopped causing us trouble.

We already have enough in this house.

If you give me a chance, I can make you very happy. Think about it.

I'm here to turn myself in.

For the murder of Óscar Egea.

I've been accusing Paca this whole time. I've made a huge mistake with that woman.

Was a lawyer with him, at least?

We've informed him about his right to have one.

He specifically refused.

But there are some details that we need to clarify, such as why he hid the body.

Right now, that is our main obstacle.

Our?

Do you mean you'll accept the case?

[Óscar] What have you done, Emilio?

[Emilio] I'm telling you! He's there!

Can't you see him?

-[♪ tense music concludes] -It's Óscar again!

[♪ theme music playing]

RETURN TO LAS SABINAS

[♪ theme music concludes]

[birds chirping]

[exhales]

Why didn't you listen to me, my love?

We would have been so happy…

with the girls,

far from all this.

You were too kind to Emilio.

But he's gone too far now.

This time, he couldn't get away.

He'll finally pay for everything he's done to all of us.

[♪ mysterious reflective music playing]

-[♪ music concludes] -[keys rattling]

Are you okay, Emilio?

This is your lawyer.

I haven't asked for a lawyer.

Your daughters hired me.

[Emilio] Go defend someone who deserves it.

I know you've refused to have a lawyer, but you'll need one. Believe me.

At least listen to what she has to say.

She can say whatever she wants.

I've killed a man and I must pay for it.

Before coming to that conclusion,

it's important for you to tell me every detail of what happened that day.

[sighs]

I already told the sergeant and his deputy.

I know.

But you don't need to declare anything in their presence anymore,

especially without a lawyer present.

Could you please remind him that he has the right to remain silent?

-That's right, Emilio. -Perfect.

Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to talk to my client alone.

As long as you are willing to accept my help.

I won't take up much of your time.

Do yourself and your daughters that favor.

[♪ soft reflective music playing]

Thank you for listening to me.

I've read your statement and the charges against you.

I would like to inform you about your situation.

I know very well what my situation is.

The prosecutor has asked for a new forensics review.

Based on the the results, you'd be charged with murder

because Óscar's body shows injuries which point to extreme cruelty.

It wasn't like that.

I hit him with what I had to prevent him from running away.

The infamous hoe.

That's right.

I was coming from the fields…

[liquid pouring]

[Emilio] I saw Óscar with the poison.

And I went towards him.

-[speaking indistinctly] -[Emilio] We struggled.

…to the Civil Guard! The Civil Guard!

He… pushed me.

-…to jail! -[both continue arguing]

[Emilio] And I… grabbed the hoe and hit him in the head with it.

The only thing I remember was that my blood was boiling.

That's it.

Well, maybe I don't want to remember anything else.

My God…

He was just a kid.

I'm a monster.

-[♪ music fading] -[birds chirping]

All right. I'll email them to you.

Yes. I'll try to do it today.

You're welcome. Bye.

[keypad clicks]

Good morning.

Who were you talking to?

It wasn't the Civil Guard, was it?

No. It was Emilio's lawyer.

[Paca] Mm.

What did she want from you?

She called to ask for his medical records.

Lawyers… They are all the same.

She'll start stalling.

[Esther] I don't think she's stalling.

She's gathering information about Emilio in order to do her job.

She's not so lucky, he's a nasty piece of work.

It's awful. Poor family.

He probably didn't think about his family when he did it.

So, the sooner he starts paying for his crime,

the sooner we'll all rest. Especially the Egeas.

Marisol is the one who's really suffering with all this.

And, then, Lucas kidnapping. It's been an awful time for the town.

Yes. And everything comes from the same place.

The Molinas.

Because of those despicable people, Manterana will be seen as a cursed town.

-That's disastrous for business. -Mom, please, not again.

It's not fair that the whole family pays for Emilio's mistakes.

Especially when the Molinas aren't the only ones who did things wrong.

I guess you are referring to your brother.

What about Tano?

Well, thanks to him,

one of the best criminal lawyers in the country is helping Emilio.

Tomás told me.

It was Blanca Diosdado who called you, right?

Mm.

Paloma and Gracia are going through a very difficult time.

I guess Tano did what any friend would do. Help them.

Wouldn't you do the same?

[♪ reflective music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

How's he? Could you talk to him?

Yes.

However, he seems quite confused. And what's worse, not willing to help.

Mm. What about his mood? A bit better or…

-I'm sorry it's all bad news. -[sighs]

This is a nightmare.

At least he's accepted my help, so I can prepare his defense.

[Paloma] Thank goodness.

For now, I've asked Dr. Ruiz for his medical records.

I've contacted a forensic psychiatrist to determine his current mental state.

Good. Thank you so much. We really appreciate it.

Now that you've studied the case, what do you think? Will he go to prison?

We're reviewing all the paperwork, including the revised forensics report.

-It's very likely he will. -[♪ soft tense music playing]

But that can't be.

He's in the best hands, Paloma.

We'll have to wait for the psychiatric report.

Once we have the results, we might be able to convince the judge

to release him on charges until the trial takes place.

Sergeant Núñez and his deputy told me

he said he sees Óscar.

But… but then…

As I said, we need to know what the psychiatrist says.

And we can't forget he's facing a murder sentence.

Usually, in these cases, the accused is never released.

Dad is sick. He won't survive.

If he goes to prison, he won't get out of there alive.

[sighs]

[♪ music concludes]

You should eat something.

You haven't had any food since you got here.

I'm not hungry.

[Manuela] As you wish.

Wait.

I want to ask you a favor.

What is it?

I need to talk to Óscar's brother.

That's impossible.

Why?

[Manuela] You're not allowed to see anyone.

Not even a priest?

[♪ reflective music playing]

You can only talk to your lawyer right now.

I can't wait any longer.

My soul needs to be at peace.

I'll go crazy if I don't talk to a priest.

[♪ music concludes]

-[birds chirping] -[cicadas chittering]

Do you need a hand?

No. Go to the old patch and weed the gutters, please.

-On it. -All right.

Listen, Paloma. I know I said… I wouldn't poke my nose into your life.

But I just… can't see you like this.

I'm fine. Really. Go to work, please.

No, you are not.

-[Paloma huffs] -What happened to your dad is awful.

I just wanted to tell you that I'm here if you need anything.

Can I be honest with you, María?

It'd hurt if you weren't.

[exhales] Look…

I'll always be grateful

for what you did back then, at the youth facility.

But you are only here because of that.

Because I still feel like I owe you one.

Nothing else.

Well, you don't owe me anything. I did it because it was what I felt.

You also felt that you had to badmouth Richi

and put down Trini, right?

That… was a misunderstanding.

I thought they were going to hurt you. I wanted to protect you.

Well, don't do it again.

I don't need protection from anyone.

Right. You made that clear the other day.

-[Paloma] Okay. And… -[♪ tense music playing]

…one last thing, María. Let's stop pretending we are such good friends.

That belongs in the past too.

[♪ music concludes]

I can't stop thinking about Emilio.

It's crazy.

How's Lucas doing?

I guess not well. I'll go see him later.

[♪ relaxed jazz music playing over speakers]

What went wrong in that man's head for him to kill Óscar?

[Tano] I don't know, Mom. I don't know.

We'll have to let them investigate.

Investigate what? He turned himself in.

Hi, son. Coffee?

Please.

How are you?

Good, good.

I can see everybody is talking about the same thing.

Yes.

Unfortunately, everyone has an opinion in this town, but no one knows anything.

Yeah, I've heard some things too.

They have to do with you, by the way.

-With me? -Mm.

Is it true that you looked for legal aid for Emilio?

Yes. It's true.

I've introduced a criminal lawyer to his family.

You could have saved your time.

I can't see why, to be honest.

I believe everyone has the right to have a lawyer, don't you?

[Miguel] That's what public defenders are for.

Your brother is partially right. You should be careful with this.

You too?

Tano, you are the mayor. People will hold it against you

if you help a self-confessed… murderer.

[sighs] I'm not really doing it for Emilio.

Then, for whom?

Well, yeah, for Emilio, all right? But… I want to help Gracia.

[Silvia] Ah, fantastic.

So, on top of that, you are making a fool of yourself.

Mom, I've told you a thousand times. She's my friend.

And if she asks me for help, I help her. That's it. The end.

You know that, even if you're friends, people won't forgive you for it.

I really don't care.

You don't care? What about you and your future?

Precisely. I'm thinking about my future.

And sharing it with her.

[Silvia] Are you listening to yourself?

Look, Mom, I don't know why you are surprised. You know about it.

Look. [sighs]

Gracia is my friend.

She's more than a friend.

I'm head over heels in love with her.

I always have been. It's a fact.

And I'll do whatever I can to help her.

-Here we go again. -What do you care?

Besides, I thought you might feel a bit more empathy towards her now.

-She's the mother of your grandson. -Gracia is not the problem.

The problem is Gracia and you.

-Mom, enough. -[Silvia stammers] Look…

I don't want to listen to you anymore.

Wow, man.

Well,

now you've heard from me what you already knew.

That I've always been in love with Gracia. Always.

Mm. [chuckles]

I don't mean to spoil it for you,

but if nothing ever happened between you two,

maybe she never felt the same.

Maybe you are wrong.

Am I?

[Tano] Mm.

Something happened the year you were in Scotland.

Define "something."

-I was hitting on her the whole year. -[scoffs]

And if it weren't for that one thing in San Juan,

which I won't get into now, but something could have happened.

So, nothing happened then, right?

Almost. After that,

the prince of Edinburgh came back, all triumphant

with his…[chuckles] …his macaronic English…

-[chuckles] -…and started going out with her.

Technically, we just got back together.

We've liked each other since we were kids.

Kids? Does that count now?

Besides, when I came back from Edinburgh,

she didn't tell me anything about that party you've mentioned.

-Perhaps it wasn't so important for her. -I think it was. She remembers it well.

-Really? Did you talk about it? -Mm. Of course.

I'm not the only one who made the mistake of going back to the past.

At least I stopped in time.

Do you mean because of what happened with Gracia before your wedding?

Yes. It almost cost me my marriage.

And it almost cost you your relationship with Elena. Well, not "almost."

Look, I don't regret breaking up with Elena at all.

And let me tell you something, little brother.

I want you to know

that I'm going all out with Gracia.

Understood?

Well, I don't recommend that.

What's wrong? Are you jealous?

Just take care of your wife, who's wonderful. Besides…

Gracia is free, she's single.

And an expert on deceiving people. I know that from experience.

Look, Gracia is an amazing woman.

We are more and more connected and better together each day.

We just need this rough patch to end and…

for her to take the decisive step.

Right.

[birds chirping]

-You must be so thirsty. -I am, to be honest.

[sighs]

Did you expect anything like that from Emilio?

That man has always had a short fuse.

But… killing someone…

-That is different. -Yes.

-I feel sorry for Gracia. -Hm.

But now that her father's confessed, I hope things calm down

and we can rest.

Hopefully.

Though you know Doña Paca never relaxes.

She's not who I'm most concerned about.

-But Tomás. -[♪ mysterious music playing]

What's wrong with that moron now?

[Pilar] He's not a moron at all.

He knows I talked to the Civil Guard about the reservoir poisoning.

-What? -[rattling]

But how did he find out?

He saw me talking to Manuela in town.

Right after, he was in the kitchen bombarding me with questions.

Why didn't you tell me? We must talk to Doña Paca before he does.

Calm down.

They talked about that. I was present.

So, Doña Paca knows?

Tomás didn't rat me out.

He made Doña Paca believe that a former girlfriend

of Óscar's, a foreigner, testified against her.

But why is that? I don't understand. Tomás is her lapdog.

Yes. But he knows that I know things.

What things?

Some shady business related to his and Doña Paca's mining project.

That's why he should get along with us.

And we should get along with him.

Knowing him, no doubt he's up to no good.

Mm.

-[Jiménez sighs] -[♪ music concludes]

[Tomás] I double-checked the farming insurance policy.

I'll email it for you to sign.

Tomás.

What time is it in Australia?

Um… I don't know…

I guess 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. I don't know.

Great. We've wasted another day. [sighs]

Leave those stupid policies and look for Óscar's ex.

I'm hoping to get her number in a few days.

How much for her to retract her statement?

I don't know. I thought about offering her around…

Spare no expense. Whatever we need

for the Civil Guard to stop bothering us with the stupid poisoning.

If she denies it, it's over.

And the authorities won't have any excuse to continue delaying the mining project.

[♪ mysterious music playing]

Paca, if Emilio Molina is sentenced for Óscar's murder, have you thought…

Of course I have.

His daughters won't have a choice, and they will have to sell at last.

I don't want to be too optimistic, but it's… looking good.

[cell phone buzzing]

Incoming call María

[clears throat]

Any news?

None that concerns you.

Tomás.

Stop counting your chickens before they hatch

and find that girl. That's the priority.

And you are taking too long.

[♪ music concludes]

[footsteps receding]

All right. If there is anything that you don't understand, please call me.

You have my number.

You're welcome. Bye.

You can't get rid of your patients even at home.

[Esther chuckles]

No, it wasn't a patient.

It was… Emilio's lawyer.

I've sent her his medical records.

[sighs]

From what I've heard, it'll be difficult to defend that man.

Hm. It looks like it.

Poor Paloma. She'll have to go through something awful.

[♪ melancholic music playing]

How is she doing?

She must be devastated.

I haven't talked to her.

Right. I guess that, since she quit this job and left,

your relationship hasn't been the same, right?

Yes, we've drifted apart quite a bit.

If not completely.

A month ago, she would be asking me for these records.

[Esther sighs]

It always hurts to lose a friend, right?

What hurts me the most is that Paloma is all alone.

-Well, she's got her family. -[Esther scoffs]

Imagine the mood in that house, Tomás.

I mean, Paloma doesn't have anybody she can vent to.

This might be a good time to try and patch up things.

You think so?

In her situation, I don't think a few words of affection would upset her.

Quite the opposite, she'll appreciate it.

I don't know. Anyway…

I feel as though something broke between us long ago.

I wouldn't want to mess up again.

As you said, she must be looking forward to venting to a friend, right?

And you as--

Forget it.

What? Me what?

No, no. I'm sorry. I don't…

I shouldn't stick my nose into other people's lives.

Tomás, please, we've known each other for a long time. Say it.

Well, it's just that… I think you…

could use a friend, couldn't you? Lately, I've noticed that you were…

a bit lonely.

Many things have happened lately.

All of them, terrible.

All the more reason to make a nice gesture.

If you miss this chance, it's quite likely that you'll regret it.

[♪ music concludes]

[Jiménez] Tomás!

Have you got a minute?

If it's work-related, talk to Miguel. I'm late for a meeting in San Luis.

Don't worry. It's nothing. I just wanted to…

thank you.

Thank me? What for?

Pilar told me you had her back in front of Paca.

Um… No need to talk about that now. In fact, not now or ever.

Tell me.

Why did you do it?

Why?

Would you rather I told the truth?

Of course not. That's why I thanked you.

But I know you well. Your generosity has a price.

I don't have the time now for your imaginary scheming.

Just consider that I may be a better person than you think.

We are just two pawns on your chessboard.

-Aren't we? -[♪ mysterious music]

You want to control the queen.

It's useful to have more information than her just in case things go wrong.

Am I right?

[footsteps receding]

[♪ calm music playing]

[♪ music concludes]

What are you doing here?

I went to your house. Trini said you'd be here.

-[♪ soft tense music playing] -[Esther] How are you?

How do you think?

Paloma, I understand if…

-you don't want to see me. -[Paloma sighs]

Especially after how things ended between us.

I can assure you I'm not worried about that at all right now.

I know. And that's why I'm here, to help in any way I can.

I must admit it is also a self-serving visit.

I needed to see you.

[♪ melancholic music playing]

I've been thinking these past few weeks and… I realized

that you are one of the most important people in my life.

And I'm not just saying that.

Paloma, your return was…

As though I had never left.

[♪ sentimental music playing]

Yes.

That's why, when I know you have a hard time, I have a hard time too.

I'm sorry you are suffering. Because of this whole thing…

my life is a living hell, Esther.

[Esther] I know.

I know, Paloma. And you don't have to go through this alone.

I have a proposal for you.

What proposal?

First, you forgive me for all the pain I've caused you…

then, we hug tightly

and, then, we cry all we need.

Tell me something, please, or I'll have a heart attack.

Are you willing to accept me into your life again?

I've missed you so much…

-Me too. -[♪ music concludes]

Is the crying necessary or…

[both laugh]

[smooches, breathes deeply]

[cicadas chittering]

How are things at home?

-Could you get some rest? -Not really, to be honest.

Julia won't come out of her room, she just cries.

[sighs] Poor girl.

What about you, honey?

I'm freaking out about what grandpa did.

Is he really a murderer?

[sighs softly]

What he's done is unforgivable.

But I'm sure that he turned himself in because he regrets it very much.

I guess so. He never tells us anything.

He keeps everything to himself.

The more he hides, the more he hurts us.

Your grandfather has always been difficult.

Every new secret is worse than the last.

[exhales]

He was all alone after your grandmother died.

That was his punishment.

Well, he deserves it. Do you know what he did to my mom?

He made her believe my grandma's death was her fault.

What?

Yes. The night she died, he told Mom that she had gone out looking for her.

Another freaking lie.

Poor Gracia.

-[♪ gentle music playing] -[Lucas] He's a monster and a coward.

He ruined my mom's life and…

that's why she had to leave the town and start over in Madrid.

[♪ music concludes]

[birds chirping]

-Hi. -[Silvia] Hi.

What are you doing here?

I came to see Lucas, I hope you don't mind.

No, not at all. In fact, I appreciate it.

It's not easy for anyone. For them either.

The poor kids have been going through very… [hesitates]

…unpleasant situations.

Terrible, Silvia. Terrible situations. Let's be honest.

[Silvia] Yes.

And how are you?

Well… I'm getting by. What can I do?

I can imagine. If you need help, anything…

[Gracia] You're helping by visiting Lucas.

I know Tano has helped you with the lawyer.

He did. If you are going to criticize me…

No, no. Gracia, honestly. I don't want to do that.

Tano worrying says a lot about him.

And, in any case,

it's not my business.

I'm glad you see it that way.

We'll talk soon, okay?

[hesitates] Wait. Before you go…

I'd like to apologize.

-Apologize, why? -[♪ gentle music playing]

Lucas told me what happened the night your mother died.

Emilio couldn't have been crueler with you.

Well, that doesn't matter now.

It does matter.

At least, it matters to me, and very much so.

Because…

I've been really unfair with you.

I'm really sorry that you had to carry someone else's guilt.

It was tough. But, then, Lucas was born, and that gave me the strength to carry on.

I even feel… [inhales deeply]

…ashamed admitting it, but…

I'm sorry I've been giving you such a hard time since you came back.

We all make mistakes. Me too.

I hope that you don't hold it against me.

Why would I do that?

I just want you to be a good grandmother to my son.

And I'm sure you'll be.

It's not hard. He's a dear.

And so sweet.

Silvia.

-[♪ optimistic emotional music playing] -Thank you.

That was the most comforting thing I've heard in a very long time.

And I really needed it.

-[♪ music fading] -[sighs deeply in relief]

[♪ reflective music playing]

Can we talk?

If you are busy, I can come back later.

No, no. Have a seat.

I just wanted to… know if you were okay after…

Emilio's confession.

Well, I guess I should feel relieved.

But?

But I don't.

I feel rage and… hate.

But, above all, guilt. I feel very guilty.

You are not guilty of anything.

You were just looking for the truth.

No. I was looking for my truth.

The truth that was convenient for me.

I've been wishing bad things to an innocent person for weeks.

I can assure you that Paca Utrera is anything but innocent.

She didn't kill Óscar.

But rage got the better of me and…

that's unacceptable, but even less for a priest.

Don't torture yourself.

All the evidence pointed at her.

In fact…

[pants]

In fact, what?

-In f-- -No, no, no, no. Don't tell me. Don't.

Don't tell me. I've already caused you enough problems

with my crazy theories about Óscar's death.

They are not crazy.

What?

Please, do not tell anyone.

If Núñez finds out I told you, he'll kill me.

We still haven't ruled out Paca's involvement in the crime.

At least, indirectly.

What?

We have a witness who…

accuses her of having paid Óscar to poison the reservoir in Las Sabinas.

But what about Emilio's confession?

I believe he's telling the truth. His truth.

But we'll continue investigating.

[breathes deeply] Thank you for coming.

I know it probably wasn't easy.

Actually,

I wanted to ask you something.

But I would understand completely if you'd refuse.

What is it?

Emilio asked to see a priest.

And he wants that priest to be you.

-[lock rattling] -[door slides open]

Emilio.

Father?

I'll give you ten minutes alone.

[lock rattling]

Thank you very much for coming.

I'm here because it's my duty as a priest. Nothing else.

I apologize for putting you in such a difficult position, but…

I owe you an explanation.

Well, you, your mother and your sister…

Say whatever you have to say and let's get it over with.

I'm very sorry for all the pain I've caused you and your family.

But I want you to know that…

I'm willing to pay for what I've done.

I wish that could comfort me.

[Emilio] There are no excuses. I know.

I can only say that I wasn't well.

Explain something to me.

How can you live

with such a crime on your conscience?

[exhales] By being a coward.

I have some experience with that.

My whole life, Álex, I've sinned more than I can confess.

And many people suffered the consequences.

Some of them, fatal consequences.

Your brother is not the only one, believe me.

Now, when I look back and--

I'm not interested in your life, Emilio.

I'm interested in my brother's life.

[♪ tense music playing]

The life Óscar won't have anymore because you took it from him.

And for what?

He was young.

Kind.

Hardworking.

With a future.

So don't say it was cowardice.

It was rage that made you kill him.

It was something as absurd as that.

I know. I'm full of rage and resentment.

I'm not a good person, Father.

I never have been.

And now it's time for me to get the punishment I deserve.

It took you quite long to take the step.

It might sound strange,

but when I went to church to see you and we were talking about Óscar,

I didn't remember

anything that happened the day that…

the day that…

The day you killed him. Go on, please.

I swear I haven't been aware of what I did this whole time.

Maybe it's because of the stroke.

I wasn't well, as I've said.

-But I can assure you-- -Enough!

[breathes sharply]

[♪ music concludes]

You won't get my forgiveness if you lie to me again.

I would have to forgive myself first.

And that will never happen.

Then, let's not waste any more time.

Let's look for the only forgiveness you'll get here today.

In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

[birds chirping]

[footsteps approaching]

I wonder what two strangers are doing here.

I've already told you it was important.

If you wanted to ask for more money, you could have done so on the phone.

I would have the same answer. No way.

I don't want more money.

-What do you want, then? -To get this over with.

What?

-[♪ tense music playing] -You already have what you wanted.

[Paca] No.

I've got 25% of what I wanted.

You'll help me get the other 75%, just as we agreed.

Paloma is devastated because of her father.

I can't continue lying to her.

That's it. Pay me the rest and let's leave things as they are.

[Paca] I'll tell you how things are.

If you leave now,

you won't see a cent.

That's unfair. Thanks to me, you managed to get a share of Las Sabinas.

Mm. Your choice.

Money or conscience.

Miserable witch.

Well, give me the money or I'll tell Paloma everything.

Go on, tell her.

Let's see how fast she kicks you out of her house.

People like you have nowhere to go.

Please, don't force me to carry on.

Finish what you started.

If your friend is as devastated as you say, and with Emilio locked up…

it shouldn't be too difficult to convince her to sell.

Don't look at me like that. The sooner you get her to do that,

the sooner you'll leave with your money.

I'm sure you'll choose what's best for you.

[♪ music concludes]

I'm worried about Tano too.

I warned him, but he didn't listen.

That girl's life is really complicated.

Her genius of a father never helped her with anything.

And now there's the matter of Óscar's death.

-[scoffs] If only it were just that… -[♪ melancholic music playing]

What? Is there something else?

It turns out that Gracia left because Emilio told her

that her mom's car accident was her fault.

I knew that.

Did you know?

-Mm. -Since when?

A few days ago.

Same as her. At least, that's what she said.

Don't you think that's the dirtiest and most despicable lie a father can tell?

I'm not defending Emilio,

but that reason is not enough to hide Lucas from me for almost 20 years.

Well, you are right. That's true.

Gracia made a mistake. That's undeniable.

But…

Just imagine how alone and vulnerable she might have felt.

Yeah. I know.

[exhales] I can imagine.

But going back to Tano. Tano is not alone.

Someone should tell him he'll be in trouble if he gets too close to Gracia.

Don't count on me.

Really?

So, we let him get hurt?

-He doesn't listen to me. -I guess he knows what he's doing.

Besides, you know what?

Every time I tried to prevent you two from suffering,

I learned my lesson.

Can't you see, Mom?

-Gracia will break his heart. -What if she doesn't?

What if they are really starting to understand each other?

Both deserve to be happy, don't you think, honey?

As you are with Esther.

[♪ music concludes]

[♪ tense music playing]

Good afternoon, Alejandro.

What do you want?

To tell you I'm glad that Óscar's murderer has been arrested.

It must have been a huge relief for you.

Not really.

Well, it is for me.

I don't like to be accused, like you did.

But, as a good Christian, I've forgiven you.

As a good Christian?

Luckily, the gates of heaven can't be opened with money.

Let go of your hate, Father.

Time puts each of us in our place.

That's why Emilio will soon be behind bars.

And I'm here, trying to be nice.

I know you paid Óscar to poison that man's reservoir.

You are not innocent.

I'm leaving. If I stay,

I'm sure you'll blame me for the drought we had two years ago.

I don't know how you tricked my brother into doing that.

But I can assure you I won't stop until I find out.

[crickets chirping]

[♪ music concludes]

Hey.

I saw the light on and…

Come in.

I can't sleep.

Welcome to the club, sis.

Would you mind if I stay for a bit?

Of course. Come here.

[Gracia chuckles]

At least you asked this time.

[chuckles] What? What do you mean?

I remember when we were kids,

and you would sneak into my bed. You would always scare me.

Your bed was my shelter whenever I had a nightmare.

I wish that could work this time.

[♪ melancholic music playing]

[sighs] The problem is that, this time, the nightmare is real.

Thank goodness you are here with me. Otherwise, I don't know how I'd survive.

[chuckles]

Shall we play "In April, I will"?

[both laugh]

Do you remember?

-I loved that game. -Right? Mom made it up.

-To play with us when we were bored. -Yes. Shall we play?

Go on… Go on.

[♪ music concludes]

[breathes deeply] Okay.

[laughs]

In April, I will…

go up the hill to see the blossoming cherry trees.

Uh-huh.

In April, I will…

stare at the sunset until there's no light left.

So beautiful.

[both chuckle]

-[♪ calm melancholic music playing] -In April, I will…

stop being sad.

And I will be happy because you'll be here. And…

as long as we are together, everything is fine.

Everything will be fine. Do you remember what Mom used to say?

[chuckles]

What did she used to say?

"In the end…"

"In the end,

April always comes."

-[Gracia smooches] -[Paloma sniffles]

[♪ calm music fades out]

[crickets chirping]

[Paca] Your choice. Money or conscience.

[birds chirping]

[♪ intense emotional music playing]

[no audible dialogue]

[Emilio grunts faintly]

[thuds]

[♪ intense emotional music continues]

[♪ music concludes]

[♪ theme music playing]
